Crossroads - Pakt mit dem Teufel (1986)
Eugene Martone fordert den Teufel und sein eigenes Schicksal heraus. Mit einer gelungenen Mischung aus Abenteuer, Romantik und Musik entführt der Film den begabten jungen Gitarristen Martone in eine gefährliche und zugleich faszinierende neue Welt. Besessen davon, das Geheimnis des Blues zu ergründen, macht sich der junge Musiker auf die Suche nach dem chronisch übellaunigen Willie Brown einen Meister auf der Blues-Harmonika, und befreit ihn aus dem Gefängnis. Das ungleiche Paar schlägt sich von New York nach Mississippi durch, wobei Martone ständig auf der Suche nach dem großen Durchbruch ist und Brown versucht, aus einem Vertrag herauszukommen, den er vor Jahren mit dem Teufel geschlossen hat. Unterwegs lernt Martone die hübsche Ausreißerin Frances kennen und verliebt sich in sie.
